What is a prophet

God in his love has provide a way for us to receive direction in life and to help us be pointed to Christ. Prophets like light house on coast show us the way though life and back home safely. Life is  like a storm sea full of confusion. A Prophet warn us of pit falls of sins and tell us to follow Christ. Them are called of God to lead the human race. That call set them apart  from the world. Their main responsibly is to be a witness  of Christ at all times  God speaks to prophets his will, then a prophets  tell us what they have learned. We can trust them, if a prophet tried to lead the people astray God would remove him. We don't have to wander in this life their a men on this earth to help. President Thomas s Monson is the lords prophet on the earth today, and he has a quorum of 12 apostles.  You can learn what the prophet and apostles have to tell us about God's will today at http://lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2010/10?lang=eng., and here's a site to teach more about prophets http://lds.org/study/topics/prophets?lang=eng. I love the lord and servants that help us today.
